Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Don't hate me Alan, but :agree: ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

alan, glad to see your getting some more progress done on your hood!! the rest of the truck is looking great!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I must missed it somehow. But I didn't notice it was a GMC hood. That's a good thing. :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks, painting the inner fenders will have to be your decision. We can tell you what we like, but you have to show it off. ;)

:lol: If I were a professional painter I wouldn't have to respray so much. ;)

HAHA

I'm not a hater Bill. ;) But there will be no racing strips. ;)

Thanks man!! It's my last big panel.

I really like the lines of the GMC, what have you been doing over there sleeping? :haha:

Today I got the grill mounted with new Silver Star headlights. I also was able to hang the inner fenders and radiator support. Looks much better.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

That is looking so good, Alan. Thanks for updating and sharing your progress again. I am totally loving your truck.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I'm old remember. :waah::haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

yep it is coming along nicely, looking good, cant wait to see it all together and the hood looks like it is coming along nicely too

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

i might should re-think my decision to go with black inner fenders and rad. support, that looks great.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Truck looks awesome Alan. There was a truck at Barrett-Jackson that was very close in color to yours. Announcers kept talking about how the crowd was all over it!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Truck is looking awesome, slow down so I can catch up with you ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:thumbs:

Your not to far ahead of me, and I don't feel old. My body (joints) makes a lot more noise. ;)

Thanks, and the hood seems to be going my way right now.

:thumbs: sounds like a plan. ;)

Thanks for the heads up. I don't get Barrett-Jackson on my basic cable.

I'm on the home stretch now, it's time to get it on the road. It might not be done but it will be running and driving.

I called an appraiser to come look at it and appraise it. He should be out next week. I'm definately getting full coverage.

Picked up an Optima battery today and installed it and the cables almost. I did touch the cables to the battery and there was no spark. Which is a good thing. I hit the brakes and they worked (switch needs adjusting) and turned the parking lights on and they worked. The gauge lights came on including the Vintage Air control panel. The dome light doesn't work, I believe it is the switch. I just remembered the ground for the dome light might not be hooked up. I say that because when I adjust the brightness of the gauges they were intermitten. Not sure what the problem is, it's late and time to quit for the night.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Oh I remember how excited I was when mine was at that stage, did some allnighters trying to get it going... LLOL

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looking great!!!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I think I can say, we are all excited for you Alan,
Great job

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

After installing, and making everything work is the hardest part sometimes. :uhmk::lol:
I'm excited for you "old man". :haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

It's just a matter of time now.;) Looking good old friend.


I can see it now.... :burnout::burnout::burnout::burnout: ...all over the place. :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

And then I turned the key.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Hey Alan, the trucks looking great. I read your entire thread a while back but I don't remember. Did you build your own radiator support? I've been working on mine but just patching the bottom mounts where they all rust out and have found there is 3 layers of sheet metal at that junction. What did you use when building or modifying yours?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I've thought several times about an all nighter, but it never happens. I need my beauty sleep. It doesn't help, but I keep trying. :haha:

:thumbs:

Thanks David, I have a lot of anticipation of turning the key. Kind of scary. ;)

Old man,,,,,,HAHA.

What's all this talk about "old". Dennis says "Old man" and you say "Old friend". J/K it's all good. BTW thanks. Remember, I have a list with your name on it. No it's not that kind of list. :haha: It's an actual list of things I need help with. I might call this week end.

Then what happened? That's ok don't ruin in for me. ;)

I bought a repop that was a triplus. BTW thanks.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks to Shannon for coming over and helping on bleeding the brakes, hooking up the hood springs and tightening the cab bolts. I also worked on cleaning up the wires at the headlight relays.

I do have a question. If you have the flashers on and step on the brakes do the turn signal indicators on the dash light up steady. It's been so long since I drove a 60's truck or car I can't remember. I'm pretty sure they are supposed to do that since the flasher and brake lights are the same bulb.

The head lights are not connected or the front turn signals aren't either, but I don't think this will have any bearing on the problems I see. I actually think the battery is low. I will charge tomorrow and recheck.

Tonight when I hooked up the battery the flashers started working. I discovered the switch was on: however, they quit flashing after 6-7 flashes (flasher switch on). The highbeam indicator was on and I used the floor switch to turn it off, but it didn't work. Just now I went out and hooked up the battery again and now it is off. I'm hoping a low charge on the battery will explain some of this.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Not sure on the ???'s but sounds like it might be a low battery issue....

Truck is looking great...better get it together so you can get an appraisal while the Barrett Jackson comp's are still fresh ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Yes, IF you have the 4way flashers on and hit the brake they will stop flashing, at least they do on mine and I have any upgraded wiring kit from EZ Wire..

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

The flasher do the same thing on my 2000 chevy work truck ( 3500 HD bucket truck )
